When did/do you ladies plan on taking your maternity leave? My fiancé wants me to start mine 2 weeks before our sons due date. I'm currently 35 wks, so I'd start my maternity leave at 38 wks which will be February 10th and I won't be going back to work until July, so I don't have to worry about using all my time off. Is 2 wks before he's due to early to take my leave?
